RE: Do you think Harleys should include some extras at purchase?
Every bike I have bought new included an owner's manual. The last one came with a tool kit and adequate storage as well. As for a center stand, some bikes are designed with one and others aren't, Harley is one of the latter. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for a center stand I don't want.

Let me take a wild guess here;
1. HD is popular enough to overcharge up front, give you the bare minimum.
2. See HD catalog to spend more.
1 + 2 = successful company riding the wave until competition accumulates 100 plus years success and a multi-million loyal following.

At least the dealer threw in a free t-shirt!
My buddy "The Reverend" just bought a new street glide and there was a harley tool kit in the saddlebag when he brought it home. Mistake?? Either way, I sure wish my RK had come with one of those.

I got a tool kit with my new RG when I bought it in 06, but they coulda offered me a different set of pipes of my choice The extra's I can live without, what gets me is the quality of the gauges they use, They coulda used ones that dont fog up[:@]. I mean, you spend 17,000 plus on a bike, and what do ya get? gauges that fog, and one that is totally worthless, air temp
